Page 7: Installation Considerations
Installation Considerations Our products have been designed and tested for operation in the most demanding industrial environments. Modern solid-state industrial controls are complex electronic equipment that operate at low levels of voltage and current, co-existing with components that operate at much higher levels of power. The difference in operating power characteristics between the high and low power control devices creates the possibility of unwanted signals being generated, thus causing interference. -

or at the farthest point when enclosed within the cabinet. We recommend that the Touch Jr. have a minimum clear space of 2" on all sides for adequate ventilation as shown in the image on the right.

Page 9: Shielding From Rfi
Shielding from RFI Shielded Cables Power cables, I/O cables or wiring, and communication cables should all be separate so that they do not couple the conducted RFI on any of these wires/ cables. Another path for RFI into the unit is through its RS232 port. Hence, the cables to this port must be shielded properly. - Page 10 Cabinet Wiring The wiring of the Touch Jr. to the “fiel” outside the cabinet must be by design. The wiring cannot be random in order to get the various points of the cabinet and the “fiel” electrically connected. Below are some general rules that apply in most situations: o Provide a separate power source to electronic controls and keep this power bus away from any I/O power.
